TO ALL WHOM I'l MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, NELSON S. SNEDEKER, of the city of Philadelphia,State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Swab forLubricating Open Journals; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full and exact description of the'same, reference being had to theannexed drawings, in which- Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of themat or nappy fabric (in an uniini'shed state,) used by me in themanufacture of my improved swab, these figures being intendedprincipally to show the wire warp and the attachment thereto of theloops or tufts that form the nappy face of the mat.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the complete swab.

Figure 4 is a vertical section of the journal and bearing of a lowerroll, such as is used in rolling-mills, showing one method of applyingthe swab.

Figure 5 shows another method of applying the swab.

Figure 6 is a similar section of the journal of an" upper roll, with arider and a carrier, without side bearings, showing another mode ofapplying the swab.

Figure 7 represents a similar section of avjournal with side bearings,showing another mode of applying the swab.

In gsfl and 2 the blue lines a represent the wcollen Woof, the red linesI) the warp or chain consisting of brass wire or other suitable wire. Iniig. 2, carc loops or tufts of woollen yarn introduced during weaving inthe usual manner, so as to form the nappy face' of the fabric. Thisfabric is woven on an ordinary loom. .In iig. 3, d represents a plate ofsheet iron, tin, copper, cr other suitable metal forming the buik of theswab, the nappy fabric above described being fastened to this-by rivets,as shown,` or any other substantial manner, and the back being curvedsothat when applied to a journal the swab shall conform to the surfacethereof. e, iig. 3, is a hinge by means` of which the swab maybefastened to the' bearing of the journal, as shown in fig. 4. When theswab is intended for the journals of rolling-mill rolls the back is madeto' extend a few inches, say from two to six,"according tocircumstances, over the nappy fabric on one side of the swabs, theextension forniing an economical means in placel of the hinge, as shownin fig. 3, for securing the swab in its proper place on the journal. Oilis applied to the face of the swab as often as occasion may require.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby LettersA Patent, as a new article of manufacture, isf- ,p i
